Man has less and less space on the battlefield. Yesterday, February 11, the TASS news agency reported that the Russian robotic complex "Udar", developed on the basis of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, passed joint tests with light robots.
The Signal Research Institute, which developed Udar, indicates that the robotic BMP-3 can interact with both ground and air drones. In particular, flying drones can conduct additional reconnaissance and be signal repeaters. Ground-based light robots are designed for reconnaissance, demolition of targets, transportation of goods and evacuation of the wounded.

At the same time, the "Strike" itself will be able to operate on the battlefield with a high level of autonomy: "During the development of Udar, the company's specialists tested the possibility of moving the robot in an autonomous mode. For this purpose, the complex includes a motion planning subsystem based on sensors and meters. On the basis of the received data, the robot's route is formed, the terrain is taken into account and the parameters of the combat mission can be calculated," said Bekhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the arms complex of the Rostec State Corporation.
"Udar" remains a closed development, so few details are known about it. Earlier it was reported that the robotic complex is being created for fire support of special forces and other ground forces. It was created on the basis of the BMP-3 and at the exhibition "Innovation Day of the Russian Defense Ministry-2015" was demonstrated with a combat module similar to the BMP "Kurganets-25" turret.
